[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9572444, member: 56"]Designs and illustrations by McCann. This is like a genre of books. Frank Lebby Stanton was another apparently contemporary with McCann and, in the '60s, Piet Hein published verses in the same vein titled "Grooks". I think Will Rogers pretty much falls into the same group. Stanton might be best known for a poem titled "Ain't the Roses Sweet". [I]Ain't the Roses Sweet! This world that we’re a livin’ in Is mighty hard to beat. You get a thorn with every Rose But ain’t the roses sweet? [/I] My grandparents had a motto print of this hanging in the bedroom where I slept as a child when visiting. Every now and then I go searching for that print. There are plenty out there, but I have yet to find the one that strikes a chord.[/QUOTE]
